I figured I would take a selfie and make it all fancy with BIGHUGELABS.com, since this would be my last pic to finish the blog...Thanks for all of you who have supported me on this quest to upload a pic a day.

So, the blog is done.....OR IS IT?

I shall be posting pics from time to time when I run across something really interesting to me.  And, very soon, be on the look out for a short video which features ALL THE PICS I took for the blog.  

Thanks again for all your support.

Day 363 ~ It's begging to look a lot like Christmas!

So I went to Shoprite today and I found these holiday fruit cakes on display. It brought back memories of my old job with Hostess cake. We used to start selling these around November also. All the salesman would complain about it because the cases were heavy and it was hard getting managers to approve the display. Yet, for all it's trouble, they did sell well and we had very few returns.

See you tomorrow.

Day 362 ~ A Day for Grooming our Dog!


Margaret was in need of a bath in a desperate way so, after work, I met Karen at Rub-a-Dub Dog which is where you can do a self-service dog wash. They have a huge sink and spray and everything you need to wash your dog.


This is Margaret all nice and clean....Karen is drying her off after her much needed bath.


This is one of the many funny dog-friendly signs they have around the store.  There is lots to smile about in that store. Right now, Karen and I are about to give Margaret a haircut. Karen does most of the work of cutting and styling. I just make sure Margaret doesn't jump off the table.

See you tomorrow.

Day 361 ~ Voting is done but the signs are still here!!!


This sign tells all the residents where to go to vote. That is just fine and dandy but I am wondering how long the signs are going to stay there. It's like people who leave Christmas lights up all year long. 


Here are all the signs still littering my neighborhood. I hope they pick them up soon!

See you tomorrow.

Day 360 ~ A Cheap Breakfast at the Airport!



The airport is known for expensive food yet I was able to get a cup of coffee and a chocolate muffin for only $3 and change....not bad, eh? It was all chocolate so it felt like I was having cake for breakfast.

Yes, I know I missed yesterday...I only have five more days till I complete 365 days of pictures!

See you tomorrow.

Day 359 ~ Wishing a Friend Well!

My friend Greg from work is moving on to an another position. He'll be moving out of state and becoming a police officer.  He invited everyone to a bar after work today to say goodbye but I couldn't make it so I sent a picture of myself raising a glass in his honor.

Here's Greg! Good luck and Godspeed!

See you tomorrow.

Day 356 ~ Dogs Gone By!


This is the desk in our living room and on it we have two pics of our dogs who died some time ago. I was just thinking about them when I was looking at some old videos (which is only a minute long and you can see below.) Baily and Zorro were good dogs! 

Bailey was our first dog. Except for the fact that she shed a lot, she was a very good dog.



Zorro was actually my daughter's dog but we took care of him while she was away at college. But, by all means, Zorro was Sara'a dog because whenever she came home, he would light up! He was the only dog I know who had a swagger when he walked!


Here's a short video I made, mostly of Zorro but Bailey is in the last few seconds of the video. Libby is also in it.

See you tomorrow.

Day 355 ~ Meeting an Old Friend!


I haven't seen Daniel Doherty in 35 years...and then when I am at the airport, he asks me, Are you Jim Vivanco? I say yes and we started talking about old times at Free Gospel church back when we were both teenagers. We couldn't talk long because I was at work and he was on his way to catch a plane.  Luckily, though, I was just about to take my lunch break so I was able to talk with him some more at the gate. We talked about church life and how each of us has grown and what has helped us along the way.  It was a very edifying conversation and it was great to see him again!

See you tomorrow.
